Seriously, Nerf Caustic and maybe even Bangalore,Kind of a huge overload of missiles for Bangalore, but overall it's not too bad.Caustic can deploy 3 smoke areas which slow you down way too much and deal a ton of damage, while he can continuously throw gas grenades which do the same, even after having max shield and max health I died purely from his gas, def needs a nerf. This isn't only because "1 guy killed me" but rather a ongoing and repeated thing that's happened with multiple face-off's with Caustic playersWay too OP in my opinionPositive feedback and actual arguments that aren't hateful are appreciated, thanks.

So one of the weakest characters ingame needs nerf? Okay.

If you died solely from gas that's on you. You can literally take meds faster then the gas hurts you lolThe only way caustic is effective at all is defensively, and some guys are great with him. But he is the least played character for a reason

Must be an ignorant player, if you die from Caustic all the time. Caustic is a hard legend to operate properly. -Caustic's traps are extremely easy to spot; unless placed by a skilled Caustic player (which isn't often) They take literally one bullet to deactivate. -"can continuously throw gas grenades" Okay. Now I know you're lying and just mad about not having skill yourself. Caustic's gas grenade cool-down time is very slow. The only way he could continuously lob them is if he has Gold Backpack, Gold Helmet, and loaded his pack with 4 or more Ultimate accelerants. -Caustic is essentially useless from a strategical standpoint, anywhere outside. -Caustic has the 2nd biggest hitbox in game, so if you're missing shots on him, you need some work on that aim. -Caustic's allies are affected the same as you minus the loss of health, so they won't want to fight you in the gas either.I could definitely go on, being a Caustic main, but there's 5 points for you.Do you watch youtubers play Apex? If so how often do you see Caustic played competitively? Next to never. You always see Wraith and Path though. Dizzy? No. Zylbrad? No. Sethly? No. Shroud? No. TaptainCypho? No. Bottlecap? No. The only person I've ever seen play Caustic competitively is Kandyrew.Move on, and get good.

Yeah caustic seems good but he's surprisingly weak. Gas nerfs his allies speed and vision, the damage is low as hell on the nox gas. Protip to counter caustic, shoot the base of the canisters. It folds them down without releasing the gas. Also wraith and bloodhound can spot out his canisters with their passives/pings.

@Pluhgins Bangalore's ult is pretty weak, and is really only useful as area control, does not need a nerf. If anything she needs a buff.If you're dying to caustic's all the time, you need to be more aware of where his traps are when you see him, it isn't difficult. He also can't throw his gas grenade "continuously". Its his ultimate ability, so it can only be used when it's charged.

Yeaah this isn't a nerf that's needed bud. Caustic is difficult enough to play as it is on the current map....he only really becomes a real danger in confined areas or late round circles.

@Pluhgins If you're having problems with Caustic, I can't suggest an easier game for you to even purchase and play. Hello Kitty might be a struggle for you.

Caustic is probably the weakest legend and I’m pretty sure he has the lowest pick rate. I’m sorry, I don’t see many threads calling for his nerf to be meet with the enthusiasm you’re looking for.

Caustic is my favorite Legend, and his gas traps are nearly useless. They are simply avoided or shot by other players. Anyone that hits one tends to take 2 ticks of damage before escaping their radius. There are 2 legends that just run through the gas or over the gas with no problems.
Caustic moments are very fulfilling though, watching an entire team escape the death ring and hit my traps and die is a great feeling. Tick 4 damage, downed! 🙂
Less skill or powerful, the traps are just oops, I hit that, darn. The grenade is also pretty lame, but area denial is a decent strategy. I wish the grenade exploded into a larger radius, or cooled down faster, but nothing I can do about it.
